Assembly Resources
This is just a simple list of x86 resources.
From time to time, this post will be updated with further links.
As mentioned in a previous post there is no need for books when so much information is now online.
Mac Shortcuts
The following is a collection of Mac keyboard shortcuts that I should remember, but never do, and have to keep web-searching for them. From time to time, this post will be updated with further links.

I’ve copied the original steps here here, so I don’t lose the steps.
